General information

What We Stand For...
The Communication Workers Union exists to protect, advance and serve the interests of its members throughout the communications industry. In pursuit of its aims the union will seek to:

provide first class collective and individual representation for all CWU members
achieve security of employment for all members
offer individual membership services of the highest quality
expand trade union membership throughout the communications industry
promote, by industrial and political means, the success of the industries in which our members work
campaign against all forms of discrimination
further these objectives by promoting the influence of the union throughout the national and international community.
We represent around 250,000 workers employed in the communications, finance and related industries.

Our aim is to improve your working life and we are committed to ensuring that each member:

BT technician working outside
is treated with respect and dignity at work,
has access to advice and representation from our trained officials,
has a safe working environment.
Unions cannot remove uncertainty in an uncertain world - but unionised workers have the best opportunity of defending themselves. That is why telecom, cable, mobile and call centre workers join the CWU.

With the support of the CWU, employees can promote their legitimate interests in the workplace. You don't have work for a large company like BT to be a member. Recently significant groups of workers have secured recognition with many different employers.

Get Respect at Work - Join The Union!
